Snap's next purchase might be a popular selfie drone maker

Snap's hardware business could soon extend well beyond cute-looking camera glasses.&nbsp;There's reason to be cautious about the supposed purchase plans. Snap isn't commenting on the report, but Zero Zero CEO Meng Qiu Wang denied that there was a deal in the making. We'd take that statement with a grain of salt (companies will sometimes deny negotiations until there's a finished agreement), but it certainly suggests that nothing is set in stone.

Facebook has killed Lifestage, the standalone app it released almost one year ago as a dedicated social network for high schoolers . Lifestage was pulled from the App Store on August 4, a Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider on Tuesday.

Lifestage was pulled from the App Store on August 4, a Facebook spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider on Tuesday. The Snapchat-like app hadn't been updated for months and never managed to crack the App Store's top charts during its short lifespan.

Created by 20-year-old Facebook employee Michael Sayman, Lifestage was intended to help teens find and connect with other classmates who went to their school. Instead of direct messaging, high schoolers were supposed to use the app to share selfies and videos that all of their classmates could watch.

At least nine high schoolers from Suffolk County have been placed in “high security” detention facilities after being identified as potential members of MS-13, according to the NYCLU.A Chicago Bulls jersey. A Facebook post of a Central American country’s flag. Playing soccer with classmates.

Even though the app never managed to catch on among teens, Facebook said that feedback from Lifestage has informed its other Snapchat-like, camera-centric slew of products, like Instagram and Facebook Stories.

“We originally launched Lifestage to make it easier for teens in the US to connect with others at their school by creating a video profile with content for all of things that make up their identity," a company spokesperson told BI. "Teens continue to make up an important part of the global community on Facebook, and we've learned a lot from Lifestage. We will continue to incorporate these learnings into features in the main Facebook app.”

Facebook’s new Camera features might breathe new life into Stories .
Along with the many other changes Facebook is rolling out today, it’s also updating its Camera application on iOS and Android — one can only presume in an attempt to draw more attention to it, along with its not-terribly-loved Stories feature.&nbsp;You’ll be able to go Live from the Camera, with the option for your Live broadcast to appear in your Story. You can use Camera effects (the ones that totally aren’t Snapchat filters) in the Live broadcast.
